Shoutout Hannibal Burres for somehow getting an ad for himself ringside.William Foster said:
Not new...the left has always advocated for men beating the sh** out of women in the ring or the octogon.
Fallon Fox is a hero to them...because he pretends to be a woman and has the courage to fight women and rearrange their faces into bloody pulps. These are heroes of the ,modern godless and perverted left.

Riiiiiiiiiiggghhhht.Quote:
In 2013, when Fallon Fox came out publicly as trans in professional mixed martial arts, she was the target of a torrent of hatred I have literally never seen targeting an LGBTQ athlete. While certainly some writers took thoughtful approaches to understanding this emerging dynamic of trans athletes in women's sports, still many more, like Joe Rogan, were vicious for the sake of being vicious.
Yet Fox stood strong and continued to push for, and earn, her right to compete...
She's been inducted in the LGBT Sports Hall Of Fame. She is an indelible part of LGBTQ sports history. And, maybe most importantly, she generated conversations an opened possibilities for trans athletes in women's sports that will be felt for generations.
Quote:
Italy's Angela Carini quit 46 seconds into a women's boxing match against Algerian opponent Imane Khelif in the 66 kg category, who was disqualified from a women's championship last year after a sex-identification test.
"It isn't fair," yelled Carini through tears after receiving two punches from Khelif during the match. Carini quit the match after 46 seconds and Khelif was declared the winner. Carini is suspected to have a broken nose and is awaiting medical inspection, the Daily Mail reported.
Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting are two Olympians competing in women's boxing who were previously disqualified from the 2023 International Boxing Association Women's World Boxing Championships in New Delhi after a sex-identification test. Neither Khelif nor Yu-ting have publicly identified as transgender.
The International Boxing Association president Umar Kremlev told a Russian news agency in 2023 that Khelif and Yu-ting were ineligible for the women's world championship title because DNA tests had "proved they had XY chromosomes." Kremlev added that the two athletes "attempted to deceive their colleagues and passed themselves off as women."

This. Im not saying they should be allowed to fight females, but this is a much harder issue.AtticusMatlock said:
This boxer and the other one from Taiwan are not trans, they are intersex. They have been presenting as female from birth.
I think the higher levels of testosterone should probably preclude them from competing against women but this is a little bit more difficult of a situation.
If they have XY chromosomes, it really isn't that difficult when it comes to women's athletics, and particularly boxing, where they could potentially kill a woman.AtticusMatlock said:

This stupidity cannot be reconciled with the amount of steroid testing that goes on to ensure that male and female athletes aren't doping.Quote:
International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said before the Olympics boxing match between Carini and Khelif that "These boxers [Khelif and Tu-ting] are entirely eligible. They are women on their passports. It's not helpful to start stigmatizing like this. We all have a responsibility not to turn it into some kind of witch-hunt."

The IOC's "Portrayal Guidelines" instruct members of the media not to use the "problematic" terms "male" and "female" in their coverage of the Olympics.
"A person's sex category is not assigned based on genetics alone," the guidelines read.

This is a weird one...biologically, Khelif is a woman. She was born with female reproductive organs...she just fits into this weird box where she also has XY chromosomes.pagerman @ work said:If they have XY chromosomes, it really isn't that difficult when it comes to women's athletics, and particularly boxing, where they could potentially kill a woman.AtticusMatlock said:

The IBA and IBF don't let them fight women. That should be sufficient.
Edited to add:
It should be sufficient, but then you have this insanity:This stupidity cannot be reconciled with the amount of steroid testing that goes on to ensure that male and female athletes aren't doping.Quote:

Used to be when a man beat the **** out of a woman the cops showed and hauled him away. Now it's an Olympic sport. What a world. But JD Vance is weird. Just thought you should know.
